He's got to work later than normal tonight and was saying on the phone that he wwould get something special to put in the oven just for the two of us for tonight, but I said I wanted to go to my book group meeting tonight, he should et something for himself if he wanted, I'd eat with the children.

Duh! I've only just twigged that it's bloody valentine's day today. But I really do want to go to my bbok group tonight. I don't get out much and even a nice ready meal with no washing up will just be more of the same old same old as we're so bloody knackered these days. Hah! Knackered - I wish. Just exhausted.

Tell him you'll make it up to him tomorrow. He'll cheer up.

Sounds as if he is hoping for more tbh. Have to say that I'd be p*ed off if the roles were reversed.

yes,rearrange for tomorrow night.

ahh bless him. My dp did that last week. He said he would make me a 3 course meal one day in the week and he also offered to babysit ds for a few hours so i could see my mum. The night i chose to see my mum was the night he was planning to do me a nice dinner but he didn't tell me till afterwards!

felt really guilty as i think he had everything all planned

Oh HD, I don't think it's quite that simple - in fact, if you were a female poster, I'd probably say "I don't think he's quite that shallow"! No offense intended .

Ladymuck - not a hope! I have a fluey cold on top of having averaged 3h sleep a night so far this week, and feel about as romantic as a leftover chicken breast.

Anyway, it's academic now, because he's come home with the same lurgy that I've got. He's upstairs doing the bath-and-bed routine with the chidlren. Fortunately, after 6 years of daddyhood, he no longer expects special treatment just because he's poorly .

Any way, I'd much rather a romantic gesture becuase he wants to rather than because of some marketing gimmicky date.
